it was fun. >> simon: it was fun?cause there were some people in the area that were actually fans of the show. ( laughter ) >> simon: now, when... when they read you out the joke, were they laughing? >> youssef: the guy was reading it with a straight face, but the guy who was actually writing was laughing, and the lawyers were laughing. >> simon: he records in this 75- year-old art deco theater, built in the same style as radio city music hall in new york. >> youssef: each episode, we have 100,000 requests for 200 seats. 100,000 requests-- can you imagine that? >> simon: no. >> youssef: so, this is a whole new lobby. >> simon: it's a far cry from the chaos of cairo. his set is worthy of any late night talk show. >> youssef: and this is, sir, my desk. he's make... he's keeping my seat warm. thank you. >> simon: now, it does have a certain resemblance to the "daily show with jon stewart," doesn't it? >> youssef: yeah. but we have a bigger theater.

>> morayef: yes. >> simon: ...to incite the brotherhood?aded human rights watch in egypt, says the pope's support of the military was denounced at muslim brotherhood rallies, which often blamed christians for conspiring to overthrow morsi. when you talk about anti- christian dialogue, what are you referring to specifically? >> morayef: accusations that christians were responsible for the coup, chants that would call christians the pope's "dogs." >> simon: it all came to an abrupt end last august 14, when the army crushed two huge muslim brotherhood encampments. close to 1,000 protestors were killed. >> morayef: the dispersal of the two sit-ins on august 14 were the most bloody incidents of police violence we've ever seen in egypt. >> simon: as word of the killings spread, all across egypt, muslim mobs began attacking christian churches. this cell phone video shows one surrounding the coptic church in sohag, 245 miles south of cairo, battering their way in, setting it on fire. it took a while to destroy the cross, but when it finally came do

there's another big issue out there, simon. it could be that iraq's unity isn't the greatest threat to iraq's unity isn't necessarily i.s.i.s., but it could be this. take a look. we are showing all refinery capable of processing 100,000 barrels of crude owl per day. what's key about it, it's locate indeed kurdistan. the refinery is emblematic to kurdistan's push to have the own oil industry in defiance of the -- kurdistan is a semiautonomous region of iraq, and the kurds have long dreamed of their own independent country, but to be dependent they need money. beneath them 45 billion barrel, to drill for and export their own oil. she say they would share the revenue with, but baghdad would have none of it. they won't even let them use the pipeline that iraq has to turkey. so what did kurdistan do? it built its own pipeline completely bypassing iraq proper and directly connecting to the port in turkey. he loaded up a tanker, it made front page news here in kurdistan. the headline i'm showing you reads kurdistan will now have its o

over to you. >> absolutely, simon. an 18% month-to-month jump, not surprising that one analyst suggested we look at this with suspect goggles on. so let's do that for a second. sales of newly built holds were up nationally, and up nearly 17% from a year ago. regionally sales jumped a 4% in the northeast and 34% in the west. now, remember these are contracts signed in may, not closings, so spring buyers out in force. these numbers are coming off such a low bay that the percentage jumps have to be huge. here's another shocking number. new home sales are 64% below their peak, which was in 2005. now, let's talk prices. s&p case shiller up 10.8% year over year. the annual price gains are slowing. the gains in march were over 12% from 2013. again some perspective. this price index is still down 18%, 19% from the summer 2006 peak. the recover from march 2012 lows is 25% to 26%, so yes, housing is definitely improving, but we are absolutely not back to normal. for more reaction on all of these numbers, it's where it always is,

i agree with a lot of what has been said, including simon.ck couple of points about david's story. it was a great story. he never forget that he was first minister. it's 600 nights away from italy. so the guests travel not by buses but in trucks which they cannot do in the uk because little old ladies, whistle the truck to save -- and sadly, more sadly, it doesn't mean fallon cause but thousand springs. but the question i think was an important one which is how can you have a single market if countries engaging in competition. there were two main reasons to go to the euro, one was a political one, counter balance and the other one was completion of the single market at the time. also a major issue and still at the heart of the project obviously. >> we'll take one more. go in the middle here, lady in the middle. yeah. >> thank you. i'm from the eu delegation. two remarks and a question. the eu hasn't started with the runup to the euro. it started much longer ago. i always have the impression that faced with a panel such as this that everyone s

mann in the studio exploration military officer also a former mercenary simon it's really great to have you with us today you were serving in elite royal troops who were taking orders from the queen and how hard was it afterwards to sell your services to the higher bidder well it wasn't really like that because first of all i was never a senior enough for the queen she told me. i was you know as a captain in the schools. the schools goes overseas has the privilege of being the queen. and then when i became a month and read you know we actually saw we got involved in this because we were attacked. and. we sided with the government for by so for me that wasn't. that hard a transition to make a tool because i found myself actually in the angolan army i was i was signed up in the eyes of the army and in fact i had the rank of brigadier general in the i know me so a lot of things were not so different but how much how much of it was about the money though because private military company does imply selling your skills and services for money and you weren't really doing it for pro bono no tha

>> that's a good question, simon. what's the answer? most countries in the world would say they have far better relations with the united states today than they did under george bush. >> the polls don't show that, simon, in the arab world. >> there have been enormous challenging in the middle east. president obama is not the first president to struggle in trying to bring about a better and more prosperous middle east. i think the great legacy of this president's foreign policy is going to be captured by these two far-reaching trade agreements, in the pacific and the atlantic, shoring up our alliances, leaving the liberal international order stronger than they found it -- >> what about the legacy of doing deals with terrorists?" >> in terms, you mean what's happened in the last few days? >> yes. >> i'm going to reserve judgment on this until we know more. and honestly, i think history will judge the president the way it's going to judge, depending on what happens in the winddown in afghanistan. there's a lot of innings left in this base
